If the rain in New York City holds off, Sarah and I are leaving for the Netherlands this afternoon. we'll be there for a week, enjoying ourselves and also touring on behalf my new book, 19 KEER KATHERINE. I'm sure there will be many videographic portraits of this trip over at Brotherhood 2.0 (and probably cross-posted here).

If you are in the Netherlands, you should try to come see me! UPDATE: I don't really have any public events (all meetings and school visits and interviews), but I do have a spare hour for coffee: more info at brotherhood2.0.

Related: For the next week, I will probably not be answering very many emails. I mean, not that I am Solid Gold about answering emails in ordinary situations. But I will be particularly not solid gold for the next little while.

And finally: How about that season finale of The Office? Team Pam's faith in Pam has been vindicated, and now even Claire Zulkey has to admit that Pam has grown a pair. I wonder if old Rob has come around yet.
